Man i love forum boards!!! I just had a lift put on and my rear wiper was not working. Thanks to this thread i learned that cycling the rear window was all i needed to do.

Bump to the top. Does anyone know if someone has tried these? Kumho tires seem to get good reviews.

GottaBeTRD, Thanks for the reply. Sorry to hear you couldn't find a good shop. Harder and harder theses days. My other car is a Volvo and there are two good places in town for them Al's and Herms. We use Al, he's kind of a crotchety old fart, but man does he know his Volvos. I am hoping to...

Hi All, I am looking for a good independent shop to do work on my T4R in the Salt Lake City area. I do my own maintenance, but for bigger things like timing belts etc I would rather take it to someone who can do it right the first time. Thanks

My 03 t4r is just hitting 80k miles. Should I think about getting my timing belt changed or can it wait till 90k? Also does anyone know a good indi shop in near SLC, UT to do the work instead of the stealership? And yes i will have the water pump changed at the same time :)

Man, I have been living in Utah to long. I had to look up the 8 ball slang! LOL I can see where the title was a tease

DUH, I guess I should learn to look more closely. LOL. So did John Deere have the adapter or was that a Home Depot purchase?

I definitely could have taken some more time with it and did your 1/2" hole / adapter suggestion. If it ends up breaking I will find one of those John Deere knobs, because I do like the feel of the round handle. At around $15 you can't go wrong. Do you have the part number for the knob and...

I had a 8 ball laying around so i did this for the heck of it. It did come out just a bit off center because I don't have a drill press. But the wife thinks its fun. And if I ever get tired of it I can put the stock one back. I used a 1/4" drill bit to make the hole and then tapped it with...

AlexJet, Would you mind posting a picture of the gap? It is hard to see in the picture i have seen of your AWESOME t4r

I have had lots of vehicles before the 4runner. Our T4R is a third vehicle for us to do camping, skiing, etc. My daily ride is a 06 Volvo V70R, it's a 300hp 6sp manual, AWD wagon aka estate for you European folks. Before that 04 Volvo XC70 05 Dodge Magnum RT (yeah it had the HEMI) 03 Ford...

I wouldn't say float it exactly. I was bored and wanted something fun to do with an old 8 ball. Not like I could have made an antenna topper out of it. :p

Don't worry to much about the H ratting. Be more concerned with the load rating of the tire. Make sure what ever tire you get it is rated the same or higher then the stock tires.

So what would anyone do with it? That's right make a shift knob out of it. It did come out just a bit off center because I don't have a drill press. But the wife thinks its fun. And if I ever get tired of it I can put the stock one back. I used a 1/4" drill bit to make the hole and then...

Those are sweet! I have a feeling that they would cost allot more then the ones local here. I am thinking that if I am going to go black that I should just get some FJC 17" steel wheels or some simple after market ones to save the expense of powder coating.
